Authors:Riza Pahlivi, Bagus Abimanyu, Marichatul Jannah Pages: 1 - 6 Abstract: Meningiomas commonly manifest as granulations, dense clusters exhibiting hyperintense signals on the meningeal layers and close to cranial nerves. Detailed and isotropic imaging are key in the diagnostic evaluation. Nevertheless, standard MRI sequences have been inadequate in capturing these granulations, incorporating the T2 3D CISS axial sequence for improved visualization. Our case study aims to meticulously evaluate the diagnostic imaging strategies used for meningioma cases, explicitly focusing on cranial nerve imaging. The MRI protocol encompassed axial, coronal, and sagittal T2_TSE and DWI sequences and post-contrast T1-weighted imaging. A detailed calibration of the 3D CISS sequence parameters was performed to enhance the imaging of cranial nerves affected by the suspected meningioma. Our findings highlight the necessity of a meticulous MRI protocol, which includes precise imaging sequences, to evaluate meningiomas effectively, particularly for assessing the potential involvement of the cranial nerves.

Authors:Hurient Sani Nabillah, Luluil Fajry Thasya Sonya, Dilla Saphira Fitriani, Nelly Siti Muzjahidah, Putri Vaolina, Feldha Fadhila, Alfi Rumidatul, Nindya Sekar Mayuri Pages: 7 - 15 Abstract: Pathogenic microorganisms that cause infectious diseases are widely spread in the environment, especially in public places that allow microorganisms to multiply. Disinfectants are used to prevent the spread of these microorganisms. The use of chemical-based disinfectants can cause side effects, so it is necessary to look for alternatives from natural materials, such as a mixture of bamboo stem liquid smoke and methanol extract from Sengon twig wood. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a mixture of bamboo stem liquid smoke and methanol extract of Sengon twig on bacteria and fungi. This research method began with an inhibition test of the disc and well diffusion method with five comparison treatments (50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 20:80, 10:90) to obtain the most effective comparison of the volume of 100% bamboo stem liquid smoke mixture and 11% sengon twig wood methanol extract, then tested using the Total Plate Count (TPC) method with swab samples on wooden tables. The results showed that the most effective comparison of the volume of 100% bamboo stem liquid smoke mixture and 11% sengon twig wood methanol extract was the volume ratio of 50:50 from the results of the inhibition zone on Salmonella typhimurium with a diameter of 10.3 mm. The results of the mixed effectiveness test with a ratio of 50:50 with the swab test on the table showed a decrease in the number of bacteria (51%) and fungi (65%). This shows that the mixture of bamboo stem liquid smoke and methanol extract of Sengon twig wood is effective as a disinfectant.

Authors:Rahardyan Parnaadji, Amiyatun Naini, FX Ady Soesetijo, Dewi Kristiana Pages: 16 - 23 Abstract: Thermoplastic nylon as a denture base requires mechanical cleaning with denture paste. Previous research showed that tobacco leaf extract paste (TLEP) 25% was fungistatic on thermoplastic nylon denture bases. The aim is to evaluate the roughness and colour changes of thermoplastic nylon against tobacco leaf extract paste 25% during one year of simulated use. This research hypothesizes that thermoplastic nylon's roughness and colour value will decrease further after brushing using 25% TLEP. Sample groups include brushing without paste, paste without TLEP 25% and TLEP 25%. The sample size for each group was 15 samples; measurements use a surface roughness tester and a colour reader. Brushing was carried out for 23.5 minutes on a plate measuring 60x10x2.5 mm as a surface roughness test and 3.90 minutes on a plate measuring 10x10x2.5 mm as a colour change test. The sample size for each group was 15 samples; measurements use a surface roughness tester and a colour reader. The research results were tested using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Levene and One-way ANOVA with a significance level of 0.05. There were no differences in surface roughness and colour changes on thermoplastic nylon plates after brushing with 25% TLEP (p>0.05). This study concluded that 25% TLEP did not affect increasing surface roughness and changing the colour of thermoplastic nylon plates with values below the threshold.

Authors:Oktavia Dwi Nugraheni, Ayu Nala El Muna Haerussana Pages: 24 - 30 Abstract: The practice of using mouthwash has become increasingly common as people have become more aware of the importance of oral hygiene in preventing dental issues. In order to mitigate any potential risks associated with alcohol-based mouthwashes, researchers are exploring natural sources of anti-cariogenic compounds. This study aimed to assess the effectivity of Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract as an ingredient in mouthwash formulations, as the use of Averrhoa bilimbi leaves is still limited. The evaluation of the mouthwash included a thorough examination of its antibacterial activity, viscosity, density, pH, and organoleptic qualities. The results indicated that formula with 30 grams extract (F3) was the most effective, exhibiting more robust antibacterial properties, appropriate viscosity and density, and a pH level similar to that of a solution. F3 resulted in an effectiveness of 41.67%, 1.36 cPs for viscosity, 1.0785 mg/l for density, pH of 5.25+0.006, organoleptically liquid, mint odor, and blackish brown clear color. Based on these findings, it appears that Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract could be a promising ingredient in mouthwash formulations.

Authors:Reka Lagora Marsofely, Wisuda Andeka Marleni, Sri Widiyati, Fajar Surahmi Pages: 31 - 36 Abstract: School-aged children are a strategic or appropriate target for implementing health programs because apart from being large in number, they are also a target that is easy to reach and can be well organized. The high level of student ignorance regarding clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) is still due to environmental factors, influence from peers, and educational patterns provided by parents. One way to increase children's knowledge is by providing education using a method that children like, namely through games. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of educational games on knowledge and attitudes about PHBS among elementary school children in the coastal area of Bengkulu City. This type of research used a quantitative method with quasi experimental design two group pretest posttest. The sample was taken from 70 people using a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the paired T-Test. The results of statistical tests show that there is an increase in average knowledge after providing educational game intervention (p=0.000, t= -5.111, one tail) and there was an increase in average attitude after providing the educational game intervention (p=0.000, t=-1.548, one tail). The intervention was effective in knowledge and attitudes about PHBS among elementary school children in the coastal area of Bengkulu city. It is hoped that this research can be used as a medium to increase knowledge and attitudes towards implementing PHBS in children.
